Didn't vote for him in 16 but most likely will in 2020 unless Bloomberg has some quality proposals that resonate with me. If it's Barnie or Buttgieg definitely voting Trump.

There's plenty of things i don't support Trump on. Support for SA and Yemen, sanctions on Venezuela, him pushing to lower the fed rate to name a few.

>Trump has friends that went to jail for financial crimes therefore CNN promoting criminal should be ok

Is this your point or?

Trump had a criminal running his campaign and has had various hand picked staff members done for corruption, all of which were promoted by him as "the best people" so if a news place that had no way of knowing this guy was an extortionist is to blame like you make out then how much more incompetent is the most powerful man on earth for overlooking these things?

You're making some idiotic comparisons. Trump being a bad judge of character is hardly equatable to a long standing massive journalistic platform with literal departments focused on content and journalism to make such terrible mistakes.

And again, what's your point? Because Trump has had criminals in his campaign then a major news network not having ethics is okay all of the sudden?

As long as we’re in this pissing contest let’s just be clear, your point is the president of the US can be a poor Judge of character, but CNN cannot be. We can go one step further, after the lawyer was found out was he invited back on CNN? In contrast to trump’s cronies who have been repeatedly found out and defended by the president of the country

My point is the president having poor judgement doesn't excuse CNN having poor judgement. CNN is a company with a PR department, legal department, they are in the business of information dissemination, integrity and a balanced judgment is the backbone of the business their in, or for a very long time it was. Trump is a person. So to apply the same metrics of expectation is nonsensical don't you think?

You refer to the battleground as the "flame forum" that alone tells me you only heard about it from other people lol.

Trump had an entire campaign of staff, a legal team, and billions of dollars at his disposal.

Here, I'll say for the sake of argument that CNN is bad and should have done better. Will you say the same about Trump?
